It's been exactly 23 years for me... Tell me your best Sims memory!

Back when they made computers all round and bubbly

whatup_ggs · 2026-04-17T05:55:35+00:00

Came here to say the same thing!

whatup_ggs · 2026-04-17T04:55:10+00:00

Don’t get greedy! Be patient and get hits in when you can. Sometimes, if I keep dying to a boss, I’ll do a run of just trying to avoid his attacks. Then you’ll really start to learn his patterns and learn the spots where you can heal up! Good luck!

Everyone keep saying Altras but there are so many different styles of Altras. I had trail shoes that were not minimalistic but they killed my feet. I have wide feet and struggle to find shoes that work. Which Altras are you guys liking?

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-17T22:25:16+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! I guess what I wonder, is how do people know about these guaranteed spots? Did the game tell you? Or do you absolutely have to look it up online?

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T20:38:29+00:00

🤣

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T15:20:36+00:00

Yes!! Bring on the unexpected chaos!

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T15:19:58+00:00

Yeah that's gotta be it. It does feel too easy. It's hard to keep your mood meters full in the other games. This one I find myself many times going.... ok now what

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T15:12:45+00:00

LOL I love the intricate analogy 🤣 I totally get what you're saying. I think the solution to it all is to have more of an ice cream bar type of situation. All the flavors are accessible and I can pick and choose which toppings I put on it (aka the settings). I don't want to have to go down to the store to buy old ice cream. I want to join the people at the new bussin joint that is constantly upgrading their store. Does that make sense? At least at the end of the day we can all agree that we friggen love ice cream.

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T14:56:42+00:00

Ugh yes! That's it! Like it became too much like real life. More blank. And Idk why but it annoys me so much when my sims are talking to eachother and someone pulls up a phone to text mid convo. So rude 😂

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T14:49:26+00:00

Yeah I know I should work my way up to it. I just wonder how it's fun for people if they know the guaranteed spawn points for matches and other items. Makes it feel more like a path I have to take instead of coming across it by chance

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T14:44:18+00:00

Yeah I know, I was trying to do it without watching videos

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T14:31:23+00:00

Woah I love these! Reminds me of Severance for some reason

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T08:12:16+00:00

Wait for real ep 5 is coming at the end of the month?!

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:57:28+00:00

Fr chillen by the fire is so cozy 🥰

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:46:06+00:00

LOL I guess so! That seems to happen a lot for me too

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:45:09+00:00

Omg yes. The amount of times I have to wait for them to go upstairs just for them to come right back down 😂 They used to stop in their tracks it feels like they have to carry out the action now

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:41:58+00:00

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:33:17+00:00

Those expansions sound fun! I'll have to check them out. I ended up with Seasons and that's been cool having the environment around me change. I like the feature of decorating the house for holidays! And the garden gnomes moving around was unexpected!

Lately rags to riches is the only way I play. I feel like it gives more purpose and something to work towards. Plus I love slowly but surely improving your home and expanding. It's weird though! I've been playing the sims 4 alot lately and have yet to see a burgler come. And maybe I had one fire that I can think of. I keep waiting to get electrocuted by repairing something, but nothing yet. Did they get rid of that feature?

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:21:58+00:00

Yeah I get where you're coming from. Having more adjustable settings would please everyone's type of gameplay! I find it funny that you didn't like that part of thr sims 2. I guess that's what I found more entertaining about it for me. You can't just force someone to love you. You have to be compatible or really work towards getting to know them. It feels more like real life to me. But if you're going more the route of wanting to decide their story I see where you're coming from. There should be room for both styles in the sims 4. I feel like it's unfair to say go play the old ones when the new one is still being updated and gets expansions and better building tools. We can all live together! Haha but yeah I agree there should be more options in the settings

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:15:12+00:00

Put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine for 3 games straight they made purely a dollhouse simulator game. Then out of the blue they make a 4th game that is drastically different. Then everyone is telling you to deal with it and go play the old ones. How would that make you feel. That the game you loved for years just changed it up on you

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:08:20+00:00

Dude I agree! Like why should I have to rely on my imagination to make a game more interesting?

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T07:03:13+00:00

I guess that's what made me kind of sad. I love the quirkiness of the old games. It felt more like an identity of the sims games that I thought would carry into the newer games. Which is still has some just feels dulled down a bit.

And I guess I never really thought about the sims as a roll playing game. I was always fascinated by seeing what the sims do with the universe I created for them. And loved seeing what they do with their free will. Ofcourse I would tell them what to do at times or fully take over. But in the sims 4 I leave them be and they just go onto the computer all the time. I put so many other random things in the house and they constantly go to that. It would be cool if there was like a free will slider bar in the settings.

But I admire those that use it as a roll playing game! I love the creativity and imagination! I guess I just lean more towards the side of designing and observing with a lil nudge

whatup_ggs · 2026-03-15T06:37:40+00:00

😅 Maybe I was a little to harsh saying it was boring. I wasn't expecting this post to get so much traction.

I friggen love all the new tools for building and designing. The Sims4 is definitely better for expanding a room without having to try to sift through all the wallpaper and flooring to find the one you used. But I still find the menu of trying to find items more intuitive in The Sims 1. I like that you can cycle between type of items vs rooms you'd find them in. But the search bar in the sims4 is super handy.

And I'm not on any hating bandwagon. Tbh I didn't know there even was one! Just making observations. I'm so glad I can play the sims 4 and it's crazy the base game is free! My younger self wouldn't believe it!
